Pedestrian Program Sidewalk Accessibility Request Form

Fairfax County’s Sidewalk Accessibility Program requests public input
for identifying accessibility issues on sidewalks, such as requests to
add curb ramps. The Fairfax County Department of Transportation leads the
planning, resource allocation prioritization, and the design and
construction of new infrastructure to enable residents with disabilities
full access to Fairfax County pedestrian facilities.

Please note that the pedestrian facilities within Fairfax County fall
into three major areas of responsibility:

Maintained by Fairfax County

Maintained by the Virginia Department of Transportation

Maintained by private property owners

Curb Ramps

New curb ramps include a ramp with a tactile warning surface, landings,
and necessary sidewalk transitions. Fairfax County will install curb
ramps as soon as funding allows when requested by qualified individuals
with disabilities at locations not otherwise scheduled for improvement.
The program is not intended to address community concerns other than
access for people with disabilities.

To request the construction of a new curb ramp at a particular sidewalk,
please complete the following form.

The Fairfax County Department of Transportation will respond

information will be used by the Fairfax County Department of
Transportation to determine whether Fairfax County, the Virginia
Department of Transportation or a private property owner is responsible
for the location requested, and the request will be forwarded if
appropriate. The submitted information will be used to
determine what action if any is required, such as appropriate maintenance
or new curb ramp construction depending on funding availability.
